Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In

One source is a user-submitted review, one is a primary source, and one is IMDb. Absolutely no reliable sources found at all. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 16:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are weak right now, yes. But a quick google suggests that the claim of being a historic attraction are not complete BS. Why not give it some time to improve? Friday (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anything can be a "historic attraction" according to the locals, including the 50something-year-old Dairy Queen in my hometown. But I'm not even finding local coverage. It's just another fancy drive-in restaurant on the mother road, and searching News, Books, etc. turns up only directory listings.

Did you check the book Route 66: The Mother Road? It's mentioned in the article. The author's article claims it's a bestseller. If this drive-in got significant coverage in that book, that's a good source in my view. Of course, if the claim of coverage in that book is BS, that's another story.

Strong Keep because the NY Times calls it a relic remarkable for its enduring good humor, CNN Money calls it eccentric, Dallas Morning News details how this great tradition sprang from inauspicious beginnings, Chicago Sun-Times talks about their famous christmas tree stuck to the vintage touring car, while the Tucson weekly talks about the "Sweet survivor" sign on the front window, the LA Times talks about the 50th anniversary, AZ Central tells you about how Juan built the place from scrap lumber he collected from the railyards and how he'd accidentally squirt customers with mustard, the Farmingron Daily Times talks about the number of quirky cars parked in their lot, Travelbite UK details how quirky they are, putting up signs like "Sorry, we're open", but then in writing this stub on an AfD, I digress, their milkshakes just rock! -SpacemanSpiff^{Calvin‡Hobbes} 17:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, where was all that when I googled? I could google "Google" and come up with zero results. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
